Disliked some narration .
Story seemed blah at times . I LOVED- a Kind worth killing, LIKED -a kind worth saving , just felt ambivalent about this one . Decent if you want to keep following the characters.

So good . I was distracted with life so I had to keep rewinding in the beginning- I like to really understand what is going on in an audiobook so it was a slow start for me . Once I really got into it , I was captivated. The narrator was perfection. So many human dynamics.such a great setting . Loved this book because it was very different from the norm . Lots to love here .

Started out good , just seemed to drag and characters became confusing , no reason for motive . Ending was terrible , not exciting . Lost interest . Sorry ! Enjoyed the setting though .

I guess I’m not much of a sci -fi fan ( is this sci-fi?) This came up on a lot of thriller site recommendations. Too weird and confusing and just didn’t find it enjoyable. Sorry ! I guess it had potential but just was a struggle for me to keep listening .I did think the first 1/3 was interesting. Without spoiling it just kind of turned into a cluster for me .

I admit to being a snob when it comes to free books, but I was out of credits and saw it was a good reads choice . Well I learned something, WOW ! The writing is really engaging and I think the author has amazing talent . The narrator was superb, one of the best I have listened to. The story so compelling, loved it ; dark without being too gruesome ( at least for me). I will definitely seek out more works by these two .
Highly recommend. Listened to while painting, made my work fly by !!!

I saw that several reviewer’s did not care for this narration. I actually thought it was good. To me it matched the character as being calm and professional. I chose this book as a break from the Tess Gerritson series ( similar scenarios of ME and police . Different style . I like both . This was my first book by this author and although the forensics are dated now - I am looking forward to the next in the series .

This book started off great .
I admit I enjoyed listening and looked forward to getting back to the book . I do like the author’s style and I loved What Alice Forgot , so I was interested .
As I neared the end , it was so dull and tidy that I almost wasn’t even interested in finishing -
I felt like” that’s it???”
Very boring last quarter
I was hoping for something exciting I guess
For those who like a happy neat tidy ending this is for you .

Really enjoyed this listen(after a few not-so-enjoyables). I didn’t guess the plot until midway . I thought narration was fantastic .
Very entertaining for those who like this type of genre .true, was dark but I appreciate that the writer did not focus on disturbing the listener/reader with unnecessary details that sometimes I find too much.
This was my first book by this author
Will certainly try another .

I started out interested in the abduction of Alice , but I agree with others - too graphic and disturbing . And the rest of the story I struggled through -
Grew tired of the perfect family , and the narration - didn't care for so much " acting".
Just wasn't for me, but that's ok.
